We are around 60-70% Wood heat. I run the heat pump when it’s around 50* outside just to use it some. It also runs some when we are gone for several hours or if it is very cold outside, just to add a little heat to the crawl space.
We do as well and we do the same we close their doors at night but leave ours open and it heats our room perfectly as we like to be a little cooler at night when sleeping.
100% here, wood stove is in the center of the insulated basement. The long side of the house is at 180* with lots of windows so we get a lot of solar gain. We put electric baseboard in this new house just to satisfy the bank. The plan is to add a heat pump at some point for when it's cold enough for heat but too warm for a fire and for a bit of cooling in the summer.
Wood furnace here, so its not hard to run 100% wood heat...been on that trend ever since the inlaws moved to town...no more weekend trips to their house at Christmas. Even when we did leave for a weekend now and again, we were still 99% wood heat.
Sounds like you did not get suckered into those new low E windows...we did unfortunately, wouldn't do it again.
80-90% of our annual heating needs. The colder it is the more we rely on it. If the lows are above 35-40 I don’t mind the heat pump coming on the take away the chill. Our house is very spread out so it takes awhile to disperse the heat, during shoulder season I usually rely on the heat pump.
60 percent or so. I am gone too long during the day, 10 hours a day 5 days a week. The propane is always burning when I get home, and usually I still have coals, but the burner cools enough that the fan has kicked off. I would love a bigger burner, but air flow in my house that turned 160 this year is lacking... fire room has to be 75 or more to make a dent in the rest of the place, with 2 fans in the doorway. Someday I will replace the whole back of the house and get a soapstone unit.... someday.
We heat our house with 100% wood heat. This is the second year heating with wood. Previously we heated with base boards and a ventless propane unit .We do not have a furnace or distribution system. Both are too expensive and the ventless unit has a smell we don't like. We have acreage and I cut trees from our land, scrounge Craigslist and burn some slab wood.
This year has been 100% wood stove. We have 2 little electric heaters in the 2 bedrooms. Have gas feed furnace not used yet this season. Have to see tho they are calling for 30below f this week...
Seen a really big silver maple on faceFace marketplace keep an eye out for there also I see alot on there..
100% if we’re in town. We have family out of state so on the years they host holidays the furnace runs with the thermostat set at 50*. This year we traveled for thanksgiving, Christmas we were home. I had natural gas brought to the house a few years back. One of theses years a new n/g furnace will get installed and I’ll let it carry some of the load during shoulder season.
100% wood, but I did burn a gallon of oil verifying the oil gun was ready. I have a wood oil combo indoor wood furnace. Oil is set to come on at 60, wife likes the house to be 75. Burned about 6 cords so far......
for mid Oct thru April, 100%. only time we use the furnace is the occasional cool days/nights in when a constant heat is not required.
I've tried to look at marketplace but I'm not on facepaper and the app won't let me see anything or search. I know more people use facepaper more than craislist these days. I know im missing out but I'm not signing up.
100% since '96 or '97. Furnace got a crack in the chamber and we bought our first OWB. A couple of years ago bought our second OWB and sold the first one and installed this one. No furnace available. The only reason the furnace is still in the basement is because we use the blower for our heat runs. New addition to the house I put in floor heat.
99.9%, we only use the propane furnace for the week we go away to visit the in-laws at Christmas. Been that way for several years now. No more to the gas man.
100% from when we need heat in the fall until April. Indoor gasser burns about 8 cord a year 2600 sf house and 2000 sf garage and everything is radiant. Will burn oil when it's too warm to have the wood boiler running and really don't need much heat or we go away.
We moved from Fond du Lac last January. I heard about an ATV accident on Winnebago. Killed a man and child but 2 other kids made it? Bad bad deal. Did they fall thru the ice?
